Sadly, the plain facts are these:
- a (small) majority voted to leave
- the leave campaigns lied to the voting public (and, indeed, were fined for doing so)
- the effect of leaving, on the UK economy, will be a disaster.
There can be no serious doubt that leaving will cost each and every reader of this post possibly several thousand pounds in (depending on your current position):-
- higher cost of living (because we pay more in some tariffs; and the value of the pound falls against other currencies)
-poorer job prospects (we have lost a major trade deal and have little or nothing in place to replace it; plus the supply chain make sit more difficult to manufacture complex high value products - cars being just one example)
- poorer pensions for those who have or will have a pension pot invested in UK companies
Other countries will only negotiate trade deals with us on terms that are favourable to them; as they know that the UK will be desperate for trade deals. Trump, in the US, is just one extreme example - he has already made it clear that he wants access to OUR NHS. If you look at the US, their health service is a financial disaster for anyone who gets ill, especially in old age.
The sad irony of the current situation is that the conservatives were supposed to be the party of business - yet it is they who have and are continuing to create these massive problems for business and the UK economy - and they are actually quite open that they are only doing it because they are worried about losing a few votes to the far right.
Unfortunately the 'Brexit means Brexit' mindless slogan ignores the fact that we were not told what Brexit meant; and nobody seems to have mentioned the effect on the UK economy.
So - any of the current set of politicians will be a disaster!
No doubt, I will get a few negative comment about the above - but frankly I have tried to give a TRUE analysis.
